“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

I think of this quote often when you encourage your readers to do something, say something, make a difference.

Thank you for this wonderful column and also for the upbeat encouragement.

This mornings read felt as comforting and reassuring as hearing that Joe And Kamala won the election. It’s another small step forward and a tilt toward good. We all need to be sentry’s to protect Democracy...just like Darnella Frazier...each and every day.

Sen. Grassley's "economic terrorism" comment tells us volumes about the state of his mental interior. As the Pro Tem leader of the U.S. Senate, he represents the last wall of the castle. Time is running out . . .

Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris' remarks about the Chauvin verdicts acknowledges the major step forward these mean and, at the same time, how utterly far we have to go to achieve true equality in the United States for all our citizens, whatever their color or ethnic background.

Let us never give up, give out, or give in!!!

Ted, good to hear from you. I thought Grassley's comments betrayed desperation. Economic sanctions really do hurt Republicans. Attacking businesses seems counterintuitive, but they learned at the foot of Trump. I thought the comments from Biden and Harris were pitch perfect.
